An instructor of the Ukrainian volunteer Azov Battalion conducts training exercises for the civilian population in Kiev on March 1, 2015. Ukraine's frontlines were relatively calm on March 1 ahead of high-level EU-mediated gas talks between Kiev and Moscow, as journalists mourned the killing by mortar fire of a Ukrainian photographer. The relative quiet in eastern Ukraine has set in following a shaky European-brokered peace plan to end fighting that has killed at least 5,800 people since April.
